We're getting a new Justice League trailer today. Pray for Cyborg.

Your not the only one with that opinion. I keep hearing those parts are just whatever.
I'll pray for DCEU to be a step up from last year.

Cyborg needs more prayer than the DCEU.

Yes, Goldar and the Megazord are so bad that id drop the the movie a full point. We don't even see them combine.
Hey remember a month or two ago when Marvel was culling digital codes to help retailers and they were all for saving comic stores. Yeah. Fuck Marvel and fuck the retailers who believed their shit.
This is clearly a shot of intention
Aquaman looked amazing in JL. Looks like they are all having fun.

Hasn't it happened before that comics have gone up early on MU?

Speaking of Aquaman:
working
that moment when you get an edit from @JimLee and incorporate it into the piece and all of a sudden it's 20 times better.
fucking legend! XD
Yep, and just like every other time it's happened the glitch is corrected and you can't read the issue. So it's pretty much a non issue.

Love this variant:
CW2 had 42 series tie-in to it so this is in fact fewer.
I really don't understand what you mean. They aren't going to let people read the issue early intentionally.
I misread
When you're not that interested in Marvel or DC your comic reading becomes very focused on a book by book basis, there's no shared universe to dive into, get invested in tie-ins and events. It feels like i'm not that interested in "comics" yet i still enjoy reading some of them. Still beats being a Valiant fan.
There's always Valiant.
That's like telling someone who's hungry to eat fried butter. Yes, it's technically food, but it's not something people should get into.

You could always go further with Hellboy if shared universe is something you're actively yearning for. I'd say the vast majority of books I've read over the last decade were Vertigo or Image so almost no sort of shared worlds to speak of, but HB was a nice thing to stumble into since the books are a pretty tight ship creatively in terms of who gets their hands on them, but have some of the more positive aspects of the shared universe setup Marvel and DC roll with.
I can't remember though, you were maybe not entirely impressed with the first library book? So maybe that's not a good recommendation.
For me, shared worlds are fun to an extent, I like reading the bat books and how they overlap and inform each other but even Night Of The Monster Men made me a little nervous, nevermind the upcoming button stuff, or dark days.
I like the first library, it's just i'm incredibly slow reading it. I have all the library editions that have released and the first three Frog BPRD digital omnibus..omnibi...in my backlog because i gotta save my comic reading time for Civil War 2 on MU. Though my free mu month just expired so i might be back to Hellboy. The first half of vol 1 has a lot of pages with black borders that I think I'm going to smudge.
if i make a dcbs order this month it would be for 5 books and maybe the JL vs Suicide Squad trade but probably not. It would be 7 books but i think i'm dropping Gwenpool because of the lack of digital code and trash paper quality. Paying 7.50 to ship 5 books seems...like a bad idea. Another chance to drop the flop.

I was the same, it took me forever to actually read and get through the first few HB volumes, it wasn't until what I guess must be the 3rd library edition where it really took hold and I started buying the BPRD and the spin offs and went in for the whole thing.
That said, I didn't have CW2 to make time for back then. If that had been out at the time, who knows. I might have a Carol Was Right avatar.
They should finally allow colors. Its so annoying.
You don't deserve that avatar for threatening to drop Gwenpool.
Absolutely agree
Also Gurihuru is two women
Love their art. I look for them in the Marvel solicits every month and hope they don't leave Gwen.
Marvel floppies are officially the worst and it's too expensive digital with no price drops, MU it is.

I understand
Really adorable. I'd love to see them on so many books. But Gwenpool is really perfect for them
Hastings deserves credit because nobody else has been able to write Gwenpool like him.
Well they could be Archie lol. I think they need change something in that area though.
Still hard to be excited for Justice League, but least Aquaman looks to be fun, and lol at Bats', "I'm rich" response.
Cute drawing of Moon Girl. Gurihuru are a great artist duo.

I don't like Claire in Iron Fist. Doesn't fit. Only just finished ep 8.
Did not know this. Cool.

I've been playing a lot of Mass Effect Andromeda, so I've been getting through Iron Fist really slowly. Watched episode 5 last night. Really enjoying Colleen Wing in this show.

I have a rule about not watching more than three episodes of a single (new) show in a day. So I've only really watched it on my days off, plus a couple of other days.
Ep 6 is my favorite episode so far. It's what this entire fucking show should have been. Also it's directed by RZA. Ep 8 also has some shades of that as well.

Valiant going after the only demographic that matters.
Please make a thread about this.
(I have never heard of any of those names)
